Update: GP just phoned to say my bloods were back and I have a sky high marker (should be 5 or under and it's 84!) showing an infection. That's why I was a bit shivery a couple of nights, and had drenching sweats and no appetite. She's getting a script for A/B's sent down to the pharmacy for me so I'll get that this afternoon.
I'm inside, in the kitchen. 24 deg and too darn hot out there for me. I got all the outside jobs done earlier and have a couple of clothes horses full of washing probably completely dry by now. I've done the cat litter, and finally emptied all the half empty jars of this and that which Tam asked if I could dispose of for her. The glass jars are soaking, lids binned, and compost caddy emptied and washed.
I sat down and researched the things I came home with yesterday. My "having a feeling" (Keith at my elbow I reckon!!) that I should go straight to the far side of the stalls paid off. I bought a really fabulous French piece but that is put away for the moment. I also found this:
A nice studio pot by Iona Pottery.
And this:
The Reckitt's Blue advertising card reminded me of when I used to wash little grey ponies' tails in it before they went off to Pony Club, when I worked with horses and had two grubby little tinkers to scrub up, especially after they had been down to granny and grandads' in the Quantocks, where the soil is red and Pink Ponies returned just before Pony Club Camp. Then this, which is currently on the fireplace mantleshelf.

I couldn't resist these three off the same stall! And yes, looking at the backdrop to these, I WILL do some tidying up this morning :)
Staying on the subject of cats, Lulu, reduced to popping bubblewrap to stave off the pangs of hunger!!
I need to go round with a vacuum shortly as there are no end of daddy long leg spiders and babies around the cornices and they need moving on . . .
I have shut the front door - well, the only door really, as it leads outside from the hall and the old Georgian door at the side of the kitchen is fixed not to open - as it was letting too much hot air and too many flies in. A shame as I loved listening to the Swifts screaming overhead - though most of them are hawking for insects above Pam's, and she's delighted about that. It also shuts out the sound of my farming neighbours tractors as they are haymaking in nearby fields. Perfect weather for it.
Another load of washing on (my duvet cover as it's too hot for the duvet) so that will be washed and dried today. I will find some hand-sewing to settle down with this afternoon.
